Here are some major sources of water:

  • Oceans:
    The largest source of water on Earth, covering over 70% of the surface. However, it is saline and requires desalination for most uses.
  • Rivers:
    Surface water flowing in a channel to the sea, a lake, or another river. Rivers are a crucial source for human consumption, agriculture, and industry.
  • Lakes:
    Large bodies of standing water that can be freshwater or saline.
  • Groundwater:
    Water located underground in aquifers, which are permeable rock or soil formations. Groundwater is a significant source for drinking water and irrigation.
  • Glaciers and Ice Caps:
    Frozen freshwater stored in glaciers and ice caps. They serve as a long-term reservoir, releasing water during warmer periods.
  • Rainwater:
    Precipitation collected and stored for later use, such as irrigation or drinking water (after treatment).
  • Atmosphere:
    While not directly accessible in large quantities, atmospheric water in the form of humidity contributes to precipitation and the water cycle.
